The US federal income tax system can be complex with its progressive brackets, standard deductions, and multiple filing statuses.

Enter your gross annual income, select your filing status (Single, Married Filing Jointly, Married Filing Separately, or Head of Household), and choose standard or itemized deductions. The calculator applies 2025 IRS tax brackets progressively and shows your federal tax, effective rate, marginal rate, taxable income, and estimated monthly take-home.
The 2025 single standard deduction is $15,000.
Federal tax about $8,114 — an effective rate of 10.8%, with a 22% marginal rate.
Being 'in the 22% bracket' means only the income above $48,475 is taxed at 22%, not the whole $60,000.
This calculator helps you estimate your annual tax bill, plan withholding adjustments on your W-4, evaluate whether itemizing beats the standard deduction, understand how a raise affects your tax bracket, and compare the tax impact of different filing statuses for married couples.
A very common mistake is thinking your entire income is taxed at your top bracket rate. Only income within that bracket is taxed at that rate — lower portions are taxed at lower rates.
